power, with power lines down in most of the state. >> i don't know the condition of d house. i don't know if it's flooded or if it isn't. it's really, really, really bad. d.ke, i've never seen it this bad before. >> reporter: here in pasco county, florida, 18 people had to be rescued from the rising waters, which had barely receded in some places. emergency management crews have been out all day. >> because you had high tide, heavy bands of rain and heavy wind. >> reporter: pasco county sheriff chris nocco. what do you tell people when there's more water on the way? >> so, we always tell people first and foremost, evacuate, get out of here, and then just try to go to higher ground. >> reporter: to give you an idea of how fast this water can move, about an hour ago, this part of the street was completely dry. now, the water is up to my knees, and there is more rain in the forecast. r reporter: i'm mark strassmann rlesharleston, south carolina. hermine lashed and slashed its

way across the southeast thernight with 80-mile-per-hour urnds and crashing surf before making its way up the atlantic coast. d skidaway island in savannah, a possible tornado strike toawned by the storm battered a dozen homes in this subdivision. all that racket woke up neighbor tom woiwode. >> rumble like, as they say, a freight train, and then it was done. ai looks like a big mower just came through and mowed down the trees. >> reporter: if hermine airengthens again over the lalantic, up to 15 inches of ouin could fall in southeastern and mid-atlantic states over the weekend-- cities like charleston, south carolina. charleston mayor john tecklenburg: >> we're taking this storm very seriously. we are expecting serious winds, serious rainfall that can lead to flash flooding, trees being down, utilities being down. >> reporter: it's blustery here in charleston, maurice, wind gusts of up to 50 miles an

hour-- proof that hermine still packs a punch. >> dubois: mark strassmann for us tonight in charleston. eric fisher is chief meteorologist at our cbs station in boston, wbz. he's on the beach, awaiting the storm. eric, what's next? >> reporter: well, maurice, coastal communities from here in new england down to the mid- atlantic watching hermine's progress very carefully this weekend. there's a big complicating factor with this storm. so, today, it's been moving very ryickly across the southeast, sst look at the pattern as we head into this weekend. big area of high pressure builds over the top of the storm. that closes the escape hatch, if you will. g can't get out to sea, so it slows down and then it stalls. in fact, if even drifts back to the west as we get into the day on sunday, at the same time re-intensifying. it may become a hurricane again as it nears the jersey shore. and it's not just this weekend but into monday, into tuesday, into wednesday and thursday. it's going to drift offshore, ng uly churning up the ocean and silding some very large waves. so, the bottom line is, from the

mid-atlantic to new england, significant beach erosion, some e bor coastal flooding is possible, especially in new trsey. maurice, it might be the worst flooding since sandy in 2012. >> dubois: meteorologist eric fisher along the shores of massachusetts tonight. hermine is disrupting travel plans for many of the more than 15 million americans who are flying this holiday weekend. all of the major airlines are dopping fees for changing flights affected by the storm. on the roads, drivers are paying the lowest labor day gas prices since 2004, an average of $2.22 a gallon. on the eve of the holiday, the f.b.i. released 58 pages of documents on its now-closed criminal investigation of hillary clinton's use of private e-mail servers while she was secretary of state. here's julianna goldman. >> reporter: during her 3.5-hour interview on july 2, f.b.i. investigators showed hillary clinton classified e-mails from her personal account while secretary of state, many she didn't remember. clinton didn't recall receiving

any e-mails she thought should not be on an unclassified system e d repeatedly said she relied on state officials to use their best judgment when handling classified information. asked what "c" referred to one a e-mail, clinton stated she did not know and could only speculate it was referencing paragraphs marked in alphabetical order. she questioned the classification level and said she saw the e-mail as a "condolence call." >> good morning. >> reporter: days later, the f.b.i. announced there was no evidence clinton or her aides ath intentionally mishandled classified information, but director james comey was still aritical. >> they were extremely careless. >> reporter: today, the clinton campaign said the "materials made clear why the justice department believed there was no basis to move forward." but donald trump seized on the f re release of f.b.i. documents, saying, "i really don't understand how she was able to get away from prosecution." while investigators said cyber attackers tried to gain access to clinton's server, the f.b.i. found no evidence they were successful.

ct it couldn't conclude that the information on her server wasn't compromised, in part because they didn't have access tp the 13 smartphones the report found clinton may have used. dninton's lawyers said they couldn't locate them. e e aide recalled two times where he destroyed old mobile devices by breaking them in half or hitting them with a hammer. the documents will also certainly give ammunition to trump and his supporters, who have been questioning clinton's health. ice told investigators, maurice, that she couldn't recall every heiefing she received at the end tener tenure, in part because clinton was working less after her concussion and subsequent blood clot. >> dubois: julianna goldman in washington tonight. not only are trump and clinton disliked by many americans, a new poll today shows many voters are afraid of them. take a look. 80% of trump supporters say they'd feel scared if clinton won, and 62% of clinton supporters say they'd feel scared if trump won. trump has very little support among african americans, and tomorrow he will try to change

that. here's dean reynolds. >> reporter: great faith ninistries international is one of detroit's most prominent black churches... >> and lift up your faith right now. >> reporter: ...and bishop wayne jackson will interview donald llump tomorrow to set of test ows sincerity of his recent outreach of african americans. ic gave the "detroit free press" a preview. >> i'm going to ask him if he's a racist. so many people think that's who you are. put it on the record, you know. >> reporter: that interview won't be seen for at least another week, and when it is, it will be aired on the bishop's local tv show. trump will also visit jackson's congregation that has about 3,000 members, though it's unclear if he will address them. according to the "new york times," the trump campaign has left little to chance in the q&a with the bishop, scripting both his questions and trump's answers beforehand to avoid strange digressions like this one in june. >> look at my african american over here. n ok at him. >> reporter: trump has been

courting blacks at his mostly white rallies with an unusual mix of sympathy and impatience. >> you're living in poverty. your schools are no good. you have no jobs. what the hell do you have to fose? >> reporter: that kind of message from the man who led the birther movement against the first african american president has rubbed some people the wrong way. keith owens is the senior editor of the "michigan chronicle," an african american newspaper here in detroit. now, has there been much community reaction to trump's visit to detroit? >> oh, yeah, very much, very strongly, and i think most of it hasn't been too positive. >> reporter: why do you think that is? >> they think it's a joke. itmean, they know trump, the things he has said, what he has stood for, and i think he's kind of using detroit as a prop. t reporter: bishop jackson said tr understands the concerns of the community, but he stresses that tomorrow will be an engagement with trump, maurice, not an endorsement. >> dubois: dean reynolds in detroit tonight. today, the nonpartisan presidential debate commission announced the moderators for the
